Why is there a difference between your rates and my brokers/platform/mt4/TOS?

There are a number of reasons why the rates for our assets may differ from those of another broker, trading platform, mt4 or TOS.

Please note that we update our real-time rate for visual purposes once per second, ie charts and rate are updated once a second. Trades are executed and close based on faster updates.

Data Exchanges
Unlike equities and indices, Forex rates can differ depending on which exchange the data is being derived from. Different Data providers use different exchanges. For our Forex data we use xignite.com. These differences should however not have any effect on trading outcomes as our shortest binary option is of a 30 second duration. Commodity prices can also vary slightly depending on the source of the data that is being used.

Binary Options Brokers
It is important to be aware that binary options brokers often display the rates that they are willing to sell you the binary option at. In a lot of cases this is not the real time market rate but a rate that the broker has set.

Graphs at binary options brokers may also not reflect the real time market rates but the adjusted rates. Some brokers may inform you of this only in the fineprint.

And even though a broker might say that they are using rates from Reuters, this may mean that they only use Reuters for the expiry rate whilst using adjusted rates for everything else..

Finally there may also be a delay built into the pricing and execution of trades at various binary options brokers. This is something some brokers will do in order to make it more difficult for traders to win as after all they lose money when you win and vice versa.

TOS
In the case of the TOS platform please note that we like binary options brokers use BID/ASK for our Forex rates. If you are using TOS please set graphs to BID/ASK and not MARK.

TOS also uses the data from their own exchange so you see the Forex rate from their dealing desk.

Our Binary Options Competitions & Achievements

One of the factors that makes our platform and website so unique, is the fact that we offer binary options competitions whose results are updated in real-time. We have also created various achievements that you can attain as a trader.

Achievements that you do attain are added automatically to your public profile. Our system also allocates a number of stars to your chosen avatar based on how many achievements you have gained. You can share your profile and achievements easily using the share feature and let your friends know how well you are doing.

You will receive an instant notification whenever you have managed to attain a new achievement.

Our Top Traders page gives you real-time insights into the best traders on our platform at any point in time. There are top traders rankings for various different parameters including in the money percentage, profit made and number of followers attained.

We hold regular binary options contests whereby we define a parameter and a timeframe (for example highest winning streak in a calendar month) and allocate prizes for the top traders at the end of the defined period.

For details of actual contests please visit our Contests page.

How many people can I follow?

If you are a free member you can follow three other traders and be notified when they place a trade.By purchasing a premium membership you can follow up to 25 traders.

Using TradeConnect you will be able to view all details of their trades in real time.

How does Binaryoptionsdemo.com make money?

By not being a binary options broker (or being connected or part of one) we have managed to avoid any conflict of interests. We do not make money when you lose (or win) unlike a binary options broker.

Of course we do need to make money in order to keep our trading platform free and this is where our sponsors come in. They are the ones that make it possible for us to offer a free binary options trading platform.
